[[Unconscious ]] [[need ]] for punishment
==[[:Category: Freudian Dictionary|Freudian Dictionary]]==
<blockquote>As to the origin of the unconscious [[need for punishment]], there can be, I [[think]], no [[doubt]]. It behaves like a part of the [[conscience]], like the prolongation of conscience into the unconscious; and it must have the same origin as conscience, that is to say it will correspond to a piece of [[aggressiveness ]] which has been internalized and taken over by the [[super-ego]]. If only the [[words ]] were less incongruous, we should be justified, for all [[practical ]] purposes, in calling it "an unconscious [[sense ]] of guilt." ... [[People ]] in whom this unconscious [[sense of guilt ]] is dominant, distinguish themselves under [[analytic ]] [[treatment ]] by exhibiting what is so unwelcome from the point of view of prognosis-a [[negative ]] therapeutic reaction.<ref>{{NILP}} Ch. 4</ref></blockquote> <blockquote>The need for punishment is an [[instinctual]] manifestation on the part of the ego, which has become masochistic under the influence of the [[sadistic]] super-ego, i.e. which has brought a part of the [[instinct]] of [[destruction]] at [[work]] within itself into the service of an [[erotic]] attachment to the super-ego. <ref>{{C&D}} Ch. 8</ref></blockquote>
